The meaning of safety buckle pendant

The safety button of peace is an ancient heritage. The safety buckle is made of jade, which has the functions of keeping peace and ward off evil spirits. It conforms to the traditional thinking of China people, so it is loved by everyone. It is also one of the optional birthday gifts for the elderly. In ancient times, every young master would have such ornaments hanging outside, which was a symbol of nobility and wealth. Here is a little rabbit to tell you in detail what the safety button means! The safety buckle, also known as the eye of nostalgia and the ocean, can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters and ensure safe entry and exit. It is a traditional jade in China. From the appearance, it is smooth and conforms to the "golden mean" in China traditional culture. In ancient times, it was called "wall", which has the function of strengthening the body. In modern times, lovers often give each other things as a symbol of peace. Ping An buckle, a traditional round ornament, has no function, and its diameter is only three to five centimeters, but it has been given a simple and simple meaning of "peace". From the appearance, the outer ring of the safety buckle is round, symbolizing the vast world; The inner ring is also round, symbolizing our inner peace and tranquility. People in China love jade, so the safety buckle made of jade is more popular with the public. Usually, people wear jade as a pendant to protect themselves from evil spirits, which is auspicious and safe. There are no special taboos and requirements for wearing emerald safety buckles. Wear it with a simple string, or wear a few jade beads for decoration and hang it on your chest, which is simple and generous; It can also be inlaid with precious metals such as gold and platinum, or decorated with small gems, and then worn with ropes and metal chains to add elegance and luxury. Probably because there is no complicated carving, the surface is smooth and the shape is like a button, so it is named. We don't know the earliest time of its appearance, but it is more common after Ming and Qing Dynasties, mostly folk ornaments. Its shape and morphology have not changed much so far. Safety buckles are also very popular now. Almost every place where jewelry is sold has safety buckles made of various materials. As for its origin, many people think that it evolved from ancient money, while others tend to originate from ancient ties. There is a phenomenon that ancient money is regarded as an auspicious protection by the ancients, such as Arhat Money written by Kangxi Baotong in the Qing Dynasty. However, ancient money was square. From Qin Shihuang's unification of six countries, unified currency, unified measurement and unified writing, to the end of Qing Dynasty, the style of square hole money as the mainstream currency has not changed for more than two thousand years. The "safety button" is round. If it is ancient money, why is it not square? And all kinds of beautiful meanings of winning money (spending money) already exist. Secondly, among the folk jade ornaments, there are many large and small Yu Pei made by imitating Fang Kongqian, but they all have some merits, such as carving auspicious words or patterns. In other words, "Jade Money" is two kinds of ornaments different from "Ping An Buckle". Erya Shi Qi pointed out: "The best meat is the best, the best meat is the best, and the best meat is the best ring." Apricot tree: "More meat, good edges, good holes, and the edges are twice as big as the holes." ("Meat" refers to the round jade from the inner ring to the outer ring. "Good" is the hole in the middle, and the meat with twice the pore size is the wall. Similar to this device are jade ring and jade ring. The names of the three are determined by the size of the central circular hole. The big hole is a ring and the small hole is a wall. A ring with an aperture equal to the edge of the jade. Moreover, jade ornaments are embellished and plain, so jade ornaments won the first round in style. However, in ancient times when productivity was underdeveloped, it was not easy to mine jade (generally referred to as beautiful stone). And they are all done by hand, cutting rough jade into jade. Such a precious thing must be monopolized by the ancient royal emperors, so jade ornaments have gone through a long process from temples to folk. In this long process, the clever working people reduced and simplified it, saving both materials and labor, and there is a beautiful moral in it, which has become a "safety button" that more people can have and has been passed down to this day! The so-called peace button, peace is of course one of its meanings. Its main feature is to bless peace, which can make us safe, safe and healthy all year round. It means not only the word peace, but also the gathering of wealth. Simple jade, its meaning is still very profound. Sending friends and relatives can be simply tied with a red rope, which represents people's simple and beautiful wishes and simple and beautiful wishes.
